Researching small, nuanced topics in civil legislation and regulations is one of the things that I’m spending a lot of time doing this fall. Through that process I’ve become familiar with a new aspect of the Library of Congress that I had previously overlooked.

Autumn is my favorite season of the year. From wearing my favorite flannel shirts to taking my kids trick o’ treating to watching the leaves change colors, there’s nothing I don’t like about fall. It’s those changing leaves that inspired one of my favorite video projects.

Take a look at your phone and you’re likely to find hundreds or thousands of pictures and videos (heck, there are more pictures of my daughters’ first weeks as infants than of my entire childhood).

Earlier this year I listed the educational technology topics that I’m still passionate about after all these years. One of those topics is search strategies and discovery tools for students. To that end, I’ve recently updated my e-book on Teaching Search Strategies to History Students.
In my updated e-book Teaching Search Strategies to History Students I outline…
